An Iterative Unsupervised Learning Method for Information Distillation
In this work, we propose an iterative unsupervised sentence extraction method to answer open-ended natural language queries about an event. The approach consists of finding the subset of sentences that are very likely to be relevant or irrelevant for the query from candidate documents, and iteratively training a classification model using these examples.

Dynamic Intention Structures I: a Theory of Intention Representation
The paper builds on ideas from dynamic logic to present a solution to the representation and evolution of agent intentions involving reference to incompletely specified and, possibly, mutually dependent intentions, as well as the objects referenced within those intentions.

Extracting Question/Answer Pairs in Multi-party Meetings
In this paper we introduce a new task for multi-party meetings: extracting question/answer pairs. We propose a method based on discriminative classification of individual sentences as questions and answers via lexical, speaker, and dialog act tag information, followed by a contextual optimization via Markov models.
